Taking the Step
by beardfreedom infirst time posting after years of reading, the things i have learned here have gradually helped to open my eyes to the reality of this religion.
though i have been mentally out for some time, lately i have stopped going to meetings and service.
the elders are calling and i have been ignoring them, i am trying to get up the courage to finally break free and never go back.

"But I was just following order and directions!" The 'outsourcing' of personal responsibility
by stuckinarut2 ina thought struck me that throughout history people have often claimed that "i was simply following orders and directions" when it comes to their actions or beliefs.. instead of using logical thinking skills to determine if the course of action is correct, they just assume that it is based on a superior telling them so.. think of someone handling finances for a corrupt boss.
if asked to hide sums of money illegally, can they just say to the authorities "i was just following directions"?.
or as we know, war crimes have occurred in history and the same excuses have been used.. similarly, it seems that witnesses "outsource" their thinking abilities to the society and gb and think and act exactly as directed...even if such changes dramatically as have many, many teachings and beliefs.. think of all the far out and strange things in the society's history.

Just because they are a afraid to be alone and to die .
Without "friends" or "hope" .
Lonely with many questions ....
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
So you unplugged your brain . and you can keep your "friends" .and your " hope " .But you still feel lonely with many questions inside ( but nobody knows ....)
Life is strange ...... ( mine too dont worry ... ; )

Love and compassion
by stavro inhttp://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cornwall-37955748.

As usual …..
cold war : the end is near
Tchernobyl : the end is near
tsunami :the end is near
Gulf war : the end is near
9/11 : the end is near
Big earthquake somewhere : the end is near
terrorist attacks : the end is near
...
So now, Trump and …. the end is near !! Funny, we should have guess !
You can spend a life time doing this .heart beat going up each time something happens
in the world .it give a little pepper ….like going to the casino maybe
Some people dreams to win the lottery
Others to play ball with a lion on billions dead bodies
And few days after, you go back to your « normal » life .until the next big thing ...and
you will start again with your friend ( who wants badly to play ball too ) its now !!the end is near !!!

Oct 2021 Time Capsule
by LevelThePlayingField inwhat do you think the jw religion will be like in oct 2021?
if we go back five years from oct 2016 you get 2011. there was no jw.org, really pretty much no tablets, most people were using paper copies for everything.
now that's all changed.

2021 ...
Let me guess .....maybe they will start to baptized babies because " the end is soooo close " ...( and statistics numbers so low ... ; ) )Disfellowship any oldies who ask questions to elders about "1914" .....
Change rules about paedophiles ...one witness will be enough ....
Establish only electronics contributions....to know who is NOT giving money ....And of course say to youngs " dont go to university ! the end is soooo close !! come to work for free in our headquarters !! we have a remote control lake ....and even a bunker !! "
And millions monkeys will believe it .

Relationship Between the JWs and Brooklyn Coming to an End
by betterdaze inthe 107-year relationship between the jehovah’s witnesses and brooklyn is coming to an endby terence cullen sept. 21, 2016, 9:45 a.m.for jehovah’s witnesses, brooklyn heights was until recently the equivalent of vatican city for catholics.
brooklyn—“the borough of churches”—arguably has no congregation with a more noticeable presence than the witnesses.
the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, the governing body of the jehovah’s witnesses, built its headquarters at 25-30 columbia heights, and it is there to greet any visitor driving over the brooklyn bridge.

IBSA (Watchtower UK) property portfolio for sale
by betterdaze inbehold: ibsaproperty.com“the extensive ibsa property portfolio in north london is now being brought to the market.”ibsa moved to the leafy london suburbs of mill hill in the late 1950’s.
since then, expansion has required the acquisition of further properties in the immediate area, and in some cases further beyond.
in recent years, relocation to a single site which would offer greater economy of operation became more than a matter of interest, and in 2014 a suitable site in chelmsford, essex was purchased.

What is the purpose of life?
by slimboyfat inwhile reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.
because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".
i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

Purpose of life :
do anything we can do to forget we gonna die . soon or later .
Make love , go on the Everest , learn violon , take cocain ( only twice its better ) , play loto , do yoga , drink a lot ,"buy" a "house", make diets, have 7659 friends on facebook , fall in love , run a marathon , have kids , work, buy brand new tooth.....and pay your tombstone at last .
And then ...25 years later...your kids .....do the same .......
They call it "the life " .......
I would prefer to call it the "monkey's life "
Ps : thats only for lucky "monkeys" in rich contries .
Ps 2 : i understand why so many "monkeys" wait for " god" to change their life ...
